6-4 Routing and terminating the VF cables
AccessNode 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
Procedure 6-1
Connecting the VF cable pairs 601–1200 to
BIX connectors with the cross-connect
This procedure shows how to connect VF cable pairs 601 to 1200 to BIX
connectors with the cross-connect facility installed.
The installation steps outlined in this procedure are suggested procedures.
Operating companies may complete the steps per their own cross-connect
practices.
Reference information for the SPC signal pair assignments and specific
connector pin designations is contained in Chapter 13, “Cabinet and
equipment wiring and cabling”.
Connections between BIX and VF line protectors are factory installed using
24-gauge wires. Electronic equipment is connected to the protector assembly
by connectorized cable assemblies.
The recommended layout is to reserve the first 12 connectors in each column
as feeder (color coded green). Connector numbers 11 and 12 in the second
column are vacant. The remaining vacant positions in each column are
designated for distribution (color coded blue) and OSP DS1 terminations.
Because of the limited space and density of the cable routing, keep cable slack
to a minimum.
Fuse links should be spliced into the VF pairs outside the cabinet.
Ensure that a QCM2A or equivalent bond clamp(s) is installed on the outside
cable (see Chapter 4, “Installing the OSP cables”).
Tools required
There are no special tools required for completing this procedure. Use splicing
tools normally used for terminating BIX connectors.
